Lawman

So, for those who care, my degrees in criminal justice and criminology bring me to work as a private security guard. I've worked for several companies, local, nation, multinational, these ten years. My first father-in-law was a cop in Cleveland when I met him. When he died, he had retired as a captain of detectives. Cleaning out a closet, my ex sent me his last uniform shirt. It hangs proudly in my closet. When he died, I sent this card with flowers: "You check the place out, and if it's safe, I'll join you later."

Law man--I'm afraid you just walked in here at the wrong time

My old man's gun has never been fired

But there's a first time and this could be

This could be the first time

Law man you know you look to be a lot younger than me and

I'd hate to shoot a baby

You've got a long way to go before you're old and slow

And it could be

It could be a good time if you change your mind

Well I'm tired and sweet from making love

And it's just too late

You'll have to wait

Bring your business around here in the morning

Well I've heard your line

And you've heard mine

And I'm just too tired to take a side

Bring your business around here in the morning

Don't you want to be easy look there

Let some of the things you see go on by or

You can burn them into your brain go on home

Don't you see the children, they're just like you

They want everything to be fine but they let it slide

And the laughing lets you know that smiling breaks the rules

Law breaker you know it could be me

And if you had your way we'd all be down

Under the face of a clock that's just too old to be wound

And you can see now the old hands won't move around

One way or the other,

Fool card brother this could be,

This could be, the first time
